How it all began...

Garages by Opdyke was founded in 1953 by Christopher P. Opdyke. Serving in the U.S. Navy Seabees during W.W. II, he built bases in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska and also in the Philippines in the South Pacific. Upon his return from service, he started his family in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, where he continued in the building trade as a trimmer for a church builder. With his growing family, Chris headed for the suburbs and spent his nights and weekends building our home in the Ardsley section of Abington township. Our dad, having earned a reputation for his quality workmanship was able then to go into business for himself. The post war boom in car buying created a need for garages and since most new homes were built without them, Chris immediately recognized the need for a specialist in that market. Our mom recalls the day in 1953 when a woman called and begged her to convince our dad to build her a garage; as no other builders were interested in the project. Garages by Opdyke was born. more…

What our customers are saying...

…this is the type of letter I enjoy sending to someone or a company who I feel has gone beyond my expectation. I had some concerns as most people do when working with contractors; I feel now that it was a waste of time on my part. Every morning your men showed up at exactly the same time as you stated they would. They went right to work. I was also impressed that you were on site leading the way. When something did come up, I was informed immediately and options were presented to me, not the problems, and it was my choice on the direction to be taken. I was home during some of the construction and I observed how the men took the time for the little details. To me, this was work performed by true craftsmen. In closing I just wanted to say it was a pleasure doing business with Garages by Opdyke.
